Résumé

A review of Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme’s installation, Oh shining star testify, at the 12th Berlin Biennale (2022) where the artists present Palestinian lives and deaths by disrupting the progressive chronologies of Palestinian’s ongoing obliteration. The essay considers the representation of racist epistemologies through recourse to the work of Saidiya Hartman and Fred Moten, while also situating the work within a lineage of cultural productions that respond to the histories of genocide.
